Inside and Floating is where ELOY had that Krautrock spirit happening.

Yeah, these two are my favs! And then came the more Floyd influenced period, also good. 
Triumvirat did some fine albums, but Eloy gets the vote here. 


I love Inside but never really got Floating for some reason.  Dawn and Ocean are great.  I also love the threesome of Colours, Planets and Time to Turn, a remarkable set of albums from 1980-1982.

I like both bands, but Eloy just gets the edge for me. They released some great albums right into the 80's.

Seemed to have missed this poll the first time round. Probably an unfair comparison as Triumvirat didn't last that long which is a shame as Jurgen Fritz is massively talented. I like his solo album Hard To Be A God and perhaps he could have done more. Eloy , as mentioned, made good/great albums right into the 80's but also well beyond. There are some stinkers like Ra but generally most of their output stands. If you were to pitch their generally highest rated albums against each other then it may be more interesting ( I will do this) but for the sake of this poll I go for Eloy.

Love both bands, but Eloy has a longer discography of quality albums. If Triumvirat continued what they were doing in their prime for another 30 years, then we'd have closer match-up here. I feel somewhat algebraic today.

Both. Equally. At the same time, if preferred.
